The tale of two people that were the same

Today is not a very good day in Athens. People protest all day long riots, fires, marches. In memory of a horrible crime that occured two years ago and because people are pissed off by the current situation the country is in.
I will leave my opinion out of this day and maybe write a post about it when the issue is irrelevant.it might be more interesting then.


However, this day gave me an unexpected gift. i was walking my dog in D.Aeropagitou Street an hour or so ago, and i realised i was alone. The centre is eerily quiet. I always love these walks, it feels like i am walking alone in a movie set of a french film of the 60s. It was windy and quiet, as if i was in the countryside. You know sometimes how it is when u walk in the middle of the night in the countryside and you can actually hear your heart beating because it is so still and quiet..

There was just one old man walking slowly, draggin his feet, holding a supermarket bag, it felt more like the bag was dragging him along rather than the other way around. And then at the side of the pedestrian way behind a tree, i saw something that looked like a shapeless mountain, and then i realized it was a couple, hugging each other tight. They were both on weelchairs.

And i thought then and there that the most important thing in life is that when you choose the person you want to be with you have to have the same "disability" in order for it to work. 

I mean that the little chipped bit on your heart must be identical with the person you choose to be with. They need to have one major "malfunction" that is identical with yours. Whether that is that they find it hard to show physical affection, that their consideration of togetherness means living in different houses or that their need for companionship is so strong they need to be with you 24/7.
I was never a firm believer in compatibility, the happiest couples i see are very different to one another but i guess that, this is what compatible means to me..this one, pivotal similarity that makes it possible to communicate and relate.and make it work.
